They both learned from their failures and were able to bounce back and create a better product as a result

Although they both had their similarities they also had their differences. Stephen King’s book as mentioned earlier was rejected 30 times. Each time his book would get a little better, because of his amazing ability to bounce back from failure. On the other hand when Bill Gates product/company barely sold anything he left the spotlight for a while. Instead of, like Stephen King making minor improvements, he instead chose to spend time making a successful software company, which slowly grew to what we know today as Microsoft. This is how they show different types of resilience. King has long-term resilience, remember he failed 30 times, and Bill Gates has a lot stronger form of resilience, he can fail and bounce back with a much, much better product.

Both Stephen King and Bill Gates showed resilience and were able to to bounce back. Their failures lead them through different paths connected by the same trail of resilience. However in some ways their characteristics of resilience made it seem that, their paths merged together, and lead them both to success.
